  • Dazey LA x Flare Street Collab Flares!

    A chance meeting at a coffee shop on Sunset Boulevard, LA, was how these beautiful flares started their life! Nik, our Flare Street designer, bumped into Dani from Dazey LA sipping on a morning coffee and after chatting about their brands and slow fashion ethos, the idea of a collaboration came to light. 
    Dani draws beautiful designs and had spent years as a graphic designer, but was looking at creating a textile for her brand and Nik LOVES nothing more than turning artwork into flares! Within a few hours, Dani was back at Nik's Air Bnb, trying on flares, getting into the groove of velvet and snapping pics... By the end of it, it was decided, Dani would create the retro print and Nik would create the flares - on velvet of course!

    The flares are available now for pre-order in a retro Orange & Green as well as a Brown and Pink colourway. We've made these in our original flare design as well as the new wide-leg flares, both in velvet and both super comfy!
    We're currently printing the fabric with our Australian based sustainable printers, so they will be ready for you to groove around in super soon!

    You can shop them on our site here!

  • NEW IN - Wide Leg Flares in your favourite velvet colours!

    Just when you thought it couldn't get more comfortable than our flares... it's time for wide leg velvet flares! 

    Wide Leg velvet bell bottoms flare pants

    For years we've been asked to make a wide leg version of our flares, and we're happy to finally say here they are! 

    It took us a long time to perfect these pants, as we wanted to make wide leg flares that flatter your body, flare at the knee but were loose and comfortable pants to groove around in! Made as an alternative to our wildly popular, Burgundy Velvet and Black Velvet Flares.

    Wide Leg Flare Bell Bottoms Pants velvet

    Researching our favourite 1960's brands, we noticed a lot of them were influenced by 1920's style - our wide leg flares are a throwback to these era's, encompassing a higher waist, thick waist band and a delicately placed curved flare to elongate those legs!

    Wide Leg Flare Bell Bottoms Pants velvet

    Notice from the images, how the waist falls without clinging to your hips, silhouettes the hip bone and thigh and then curves delicately at the knee to give that wide leg flare look!
    They're made from a plain, non-crushed, deep burgundy, plum wine velvet, are super comfy and contain a lot of stretch and amazing flow of the flare. They are soft to wear and perfectly flared for any season!

    These flares have a wide elastic waist band, and sit slightly higher than our original flares.
